Kyle Stowers Smashes Two Homers In Marlins' Victory
Kyle Stowers provided almost all the offense at Wrigley Field on Wednesday night, going 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs and a triple to power the Marlins to a 3-1 victory in their series finale in Chicago. Stowers homered on Tuesday as well and now has 10 long balls on the season, four of which have come in his last five games. In his first full season with the Marlins, Stowers is hitting an even .300 through his first 40 games with a .271 ISO and .403 wOBA. He still has a very high strikeout rate, but his exit velocity remains elite. He has a 51.0% hard-hit rate and 22.9% barrel rate this season, and he brings solid power potential from the middle of the Marlins' order. His strikeout rate could catch up with him eventually, but he's definitely hot enough to be a great mixed-league option if you need some power. The Marlins are headed home to face the Rays and Cubs over the next six days after Thursday's scheduled off day.
